His Excellency, the Honourable Peter Underwood AC, Governor of Tasmania

I have been advised that His Excellency, the Honourable Peter Underwood AC has died after a short illness.

Mr Underwood had a long career serving the State and people of Tasmania, both in the judiciary and later as Governor.

He showed great commitment throughout his life and career to the administration of justice, and he had a great passion for both education and the arts.

My thoughts and condolences are with his wife, Frances, and their children and family.
